DIED FROM EXTREME FRIGHT.
Three Human Victims of the Great South.
western Earthquake.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, May 6-Cumbers
Mesa, seventy-fve miles west of this city,
on the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, is a
rugged upland, occupied by countless
hocks of sheep, which are cared for by
herders who follow their flocks day and
night, unseen by the owners for weeks at
stretch. On Tuesday Cubert Gonzales, a
large sheep raiser, rode over the range to
inspect his fiocks, reaching the Mesa at 10
D. M, and climbed to the top of
high rock to scan the country in search
OF his herders. At that moment the sky
became overcast, low, rumbling sound
seemed to approach from the southwest,
and then a slight tremble shook the rock
upon which he was perched, followed i'm
mediately by loud report and severe
shocks which made the rocks sway to and
fro like ship at sea. He was overcome
by deadly sickness which almost caused
HIM to fall from the rock. Recovering, he
started by the path he had climbed, but
found the rock had been rent in twain, leav-
ing fissure ten feet wide, which accounted
for the report he had heard. He managed to
regain the ground and remounting his
horse rode rapidly in search of his herders.
He found some of the sheep scattered and
bleating with fright, but no herders were
in sight. a short distance further on he
was Mortified by finding the body OF one of
the men stretched upon the ground, dead.
IDstitutiDg search for the other two he
found them mile away, both dead, but
the bodies bore no mark of violence
or injury OF any kind, and they
were scarcely cold, the hexibility of
their limbs indicating that death
had overtaken them all within the time
that Mr.. Gonzales had been in Mesa. The
only plausible theory that could be formed
as to the cause of their death was that the
extreme fright caused by the terrible con-
vulsions OF the elements, which he himself
had witnessed, had killed the three men
at the same moment. The expressions of
their features, which bore the impress of
fright and terror, sustained this theory,
and it is believed that these three men
were, perhaps, the only human victims Of
the great southwestern earthquake.

lowed to marry in accordance with their
own religious organizations. Jews could
create a congregation by bringing together
twelve men, and they could elect rabbi.
In this way saloon-keepers became rabois.
He had found twenty-six such instances
in the records of the bureau of vital Stats
tics. The New York Board of
Health now declares that as the new law
stands it is doubtful whether any Jewish
rabbi can marry man and woman, owing
to the no doubt accidental omission of the
word "rabbi' from the clause in which
those persons are named who may legally
perform a marriage service. The word
minister appears in the clause, but the
Board of Health insists that the word
rabbi should appear. The conference APP
pointed a committee to confer with the
board on the vexed subject. Rev. DR.. L
Winter, OF Brooklyn, read resolutions of
regret for the death of Henry Ward
Beecher, of whom the resolutions said:
I'VE recognize that We have lost in II. w.
Beecher a great colaborer in the field of
religion"

President GarfieId's Life, .by Himself.
Notes Furnished to Edmund Kirke.l


When went into Congress the war was
still raging. l wanted to go back into the
army. After Rosecrans' removal, Thomas,
who was a very dear friend of mine, was
exceedingly anxious to have me come back,
and rendered me, in private letter, the
command of an army corps ii | would go.
He had become the head of the whole
army, you know. very much wanted to
go back, but Mr.. Lincoln made personal
point of my taking my seat
in in t the r House .oo of sg abs ,ss
Republican majority in Congress was very
small, and there was great doubt whether
we could certainly carry the necessary
measures; and in the next place, he was
greatly lacking in men of military expert
ence in the House to regulate the legisla-
ton about the army. So l went in, and
was Immediately put upon the Military
Committee.
In time of peace Ways and Means and APP
preparations are the most important of the
committees, and the Military is rather a
decoration than an influential committee.
But in th3 war the Military Committee
was way up above any others in Importance
and my position on it, as practically ac-
quainted with the wants of the army, called
me into immediate requisltion, giving me
prominence in the House in the be-
ginning that 1 could not possibly
have had IN any other way. The first
speech made was on the Goth of January,
1864, on bill for the confscation of rebel
property. There are portions of that
which you will probably think it best to
print, enough, at least, to show the swing
of my mind and the character of my speak
ing. l was the youngest member in either
branch of Congress at that time, as l had
been the youngest member of the Ohio
Legislature, and the youngest Brigadier
General in the army.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Interest N the B.
and o. deal has been revived by story
that meeting of the Baltimore and Ohio
directors will soon be held, at which the
resignation of several of the present d.
reciors will be received and their places
filed by members chosen by the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton, Lake Erie and
Western and Richmond Terminal Com
panies. There is some hitch in regard to
the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago,
and another road, joining the system, but,
outside of this, the plan is said to be COM
plete for the use of the Baltimore and Ohio
as a through line to Philadelphia, and
thence to New York. as soon as the extern
sion can be built. Several directors of the
roads named have been questioned in re-
gard to the story, and they admit that it is
practically true, but that the minor details
have not yet been arranged. Robert Gar
rett, G. Z. Brice, Samuel Thomas, Henry S.
Ives, George 1. Seney, Alfred Sully and
George II. Slayner are mentioned as among
members of the syndicate buying control
of the road, but it is said that some of them
will only have small interest in it.

Spring seasons of comic opera, burlesque
and light comedy set in with a vengeance
this week, and presented some curious
spectaeles. Let me enumerate some OF the
strongest.
at Wallack's the "Scbool for Scandal"
with John Gilbert as ''Sir Peter Teazler,"
has played to empty and unappreclative
benches
Mrs. Langtry, at the Fifth Avenue The
alter, has done a two-thirds business only.
Even beauty may pail upon the public APP
petite.
James G. Duff returned to the Standard
with positive failure of last season." A
Trip to Africa and has made a decid ed
hit with it, and may play it all summer If
he likes.
Henry E. Dixey returned to the Bljou
and is enjoying nightly ovations. 1t is
wonderful how the merry mad-cap wins
everybody to laughter with such piece.
1t is not in the burlesque; it must be in the
actor.
Boucicault has made terrible failure in
his last appearance here. Houses were
even worse than his plays and he has had
to resort to two of his well-known devices
to attract attention. He frsts gets up pre-
arranged discussion with "NIm Crinkle,'
and that failing to attract attention, he
closes the house for rehearsals OF old
'Shaughraun."
Lawrence Barrett has worked over an
ancient chestnut called "Rienzi," and Nib
los Garden does not contain the multi
tudes-because they do not go to see it.
Palmer continued the season at the
Madison Square Theater by producing
"Our Society,"" a very pretty comedy,
much improved by Stage Manager Pres
bury's manipulations. Miss Annie Rus
sell, nervous, impetuous little spirit of
body, plays Jealous little school girl in
most delightful manner, and gives life to
piece which would be very lacking if her
pert and her acting were missing.
hear from Boston that Miss Marie Bur-
roughs, of Palmer's company, has made a
decided hit in the part of agnes Ralstou"
in "Jim, the Penman," which Maud Har-
rison used to play here. II l am not very
much mistaken, Miss Burroughs has the
making of very clever actress in her.

every reason to be satisfied with the result
of the debate.
The Standard continues to maintain a
scornful tone toward the Government with
regard to their course in the Times-Dillon

A Runaway Couple.

COLUMBUS, May 5.-Joseph Poulter, q
married man whose home is near Nash
vile, Brown County, came TO this place
yesterday, and induced Miss Lou Huff,
who came here two weeks ago from Brown
County, to elope with him. The party
left here this morning at 8 o'clock, going
toward Indianapolis. Poulter has been
married about three months. His wife is
still at her home in Brown. The event
created considerable comment when the
facts leaked out. Miss Huff is fine look

MR.. GRADYs CHARACTERISTICS.
Personal Peculiarities of the Southern
Editor Who May be Vice President.

Editor Who May be Vice President.
AUGUSTA, Ga, May 2-Henry w. Grady
is becoming very prominent in the South
now, and it seems to be pretty well hoped
that he will be the first post-bellum South
erner who will grace presidential ticket.
Grady's reputation as q journalist is uni
versal, Your correspondent saw him in
Atlanta writing leader for the Constitu.
ton the other oay-dictating it, rather.
He was on Broad street, Just around the
corner from the Constitution building. He
affects toothpicks and had one between his
teeth. His hat was thrust back from over
his pet bangs. Leaning at an angle OF
forty i've degrees against convenient tree,
he poured forth sentence after sentence
which were faithfully handled by the
young stenographer who follows him about
the streets to enable him to put into print
brilliant thoughts which may be inspired
during the possible Vice Presidents strolls
about the thoroughfares.
Mr.. Grady is peculiar and has a faculty
of self-abstractlon. Your correspondent
has seen him talking to Senator Brown, and
when the latter was making a reply to
some commonplace interrogatory the edi-
tor walked away when the Senator was half
way through his sentence. He often does
this. But "its Grady, you know"-and
nobody is offended by Grady or by what he
does. In the middle of a most important
conversation he will walk abrU pity away,
to the CONSERVATION of stranger, but to
the amusement of one who knows him and
his ways. Governors, Senator Congress
men, office boys, partners and sub-editors
are treated alike in this respect.
Mr.. Grady likes social gatherings, but
generally remains at the parlor entrance,
toothpick between his teeth, hat thrown
back on his head, lolling against the facing
of the door. He rarely gets inside, but
from this position he talks to ten at once,
and is lionized wherever he wanders.

annual conference of the Jewish Ministers
Association of America. Rev. Dr.. Gustav
Gotthiel, of the Temple Emmanuel, pre-
sided. The principal question discussed
was the snari in the marriage law. The
clause in the marriage law which was a
stumbling block to the Jewish ministers
was proposed by themselves as an amend
ment TO the marriage law in this
State. Rev. DR.. Aaron Wise, to-day, in his
report of the committee on the marriage
question, said that the amendment clause
now in force was intended to do away with
old abuses, BY the old Law Jews were al
